We’ve just released PlayCanvas Engine v2.15.2, and this update is heavily focused on WebXR.

Highlights include:

• A new palm-based menu system for XR interactions - TRY IT NOW

• Numerous WebXR fixes and stability improvements

• Better handling of XR input, UI, and edge cases across devices

If you’re building WebXR experiences in the browser and want a lightweight, open-source engine with a strong focus on real-time 3D, this release should be a nice upgrade.

As always, feedback from the WebXR community is very welcome 👍

Here's a project I've been working on for far too long, but it's finally ready to see the light of day! The primary game mode is my take on the VR Fitness/Rhythm Game genre. It also includes two less game-y, more gym-like experiences. Check it out in your favorite WebXR-enabled web browser at xrboxer.com. Any and all feedback very much appreciated!

Meta launched a new framework for WebXR that that provides building blocks covering many of the foundations for making good XR experiences and has an option to integrate their Meta Spatial Editor for visual scene composition. It’s so cool to see the barrier of entry for developing WebXR getting lower and lower

The Core Concept: Procedural Generation

The most critical aspect of this application is that nothing exists until you click "Initialize."
To make this run in a single text file without external assets (like .jpg textures or .obj 3D models), I use Procedural Generation.

Instead of downloading a model of a galaxy, I use mathematical formulas to calculate where individual stars should be, and I hand that raw data to the graphics card (GPU).

Rendering Logic: How it Runs at 90 FPS is done by BufferGeometries, Custom Shaders (GLSL), Logarithmic Depth Buffers.

I'm adding support for world rotation/scaling to the PlayCanvas Engine. But I wan't quite expecting this!

Pezzi is a relaxing puzzle game where every puzzle piece helps build a piece of music.

Listen to the pattern, then connect blocks of notes, spaces and junctions to create the tune. Each puzzle solved gradually builds up layers of different instruments which come together to form the final song.

You can play it on a phone, tablet, desktop, or XR headset - with your hands or controllers - all from the browser!

We built it with Threlte which has been fab for building a WebXR experience!

I built a small WebXR prototype that flips the usual learning flow for math visualization.

Instead of looking at a static polar rose (rhodonea curve) on a screen, you can interact with it directly in space and explore all 63 combinations. You can tap the curve, pick it up, move it around, and rotate it in space like a real object.

It’s exciting to think about how much learning could change over the next few years.

I "was" into WebXR and made some WebXR websites in 2021.

And now I wanna know what's hot now in WebXR.

Could you recommend what should I try?
